1 Compass Overview
1.1 About the Compass Program
This program was designed to assist the operator of a seismic station to
make an initial analysis of the station's waveform data quickly and to create
a report of phase picks which can be forwarded to national and international
data centers.

1.3 Installation Guidelines
1. Copy the COMPASS CD folder to the c:\reftek folder on the Hard Disk.
2. Create a desktop shortcut for Compass and place on the desktop.
1.4 Pre-Requisites
Acquisition systems usually store waveforms in some specific formats.
Usually they are in raw digital counts.
To get full performance with COMPASS software it is strongly recommended

to have each station-channels information:
Location of Sensor (Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, and Depth in the Vault)

Sensor orientation (Azimuth and Dip)
The azimuth of the instrument in degrees from north (clockwise).
The dip of the instrument (down from horizontal).
The traditional orientation :
- Z -----------------------Dip = -90,Azimuth = 0
- 0 N -------------------- Dip = 0,Azimuth = 0
- 0 E ---------------------Dip = 0,Azimuth 90
Channel Transfer Function: Look Up Units
(Meter,Meter/Second,Meters/(Second^2)
Complex Poles, Zero of Transfer Function and Channel Sensitivities
Optional information about FIR filters & decimating stages
The program is usually trying to locate a Dataless. Network_Station.seed file
in the Response folder and then read this info in memory.
Note: If you are familiar with fields in the

http://www.iris.edu/manuals/SEEDManual_V2.4.pdf there are some extra hints
to load such info from general ASCII files.

1.5 Loading RAW REF TEK data

To prevent program problems while loading raw data, it is recommended to
use of the arcfetch program on the RAW reftek data.
WARNING: This program uses Volt per Unit, Bit Weight and Station
Location from the EH packet. If this information is missing there may
be limited results.
1.5.1 Using the New Trace and Add Trace menus

1. To bring data into the program for analysis, select the New Trace menu item
-OR-
2. Use the hot key n.
Figure 1-2 Bring in data
3. The Open files dialog box opens.
Figure 1-3 Open dialog box
4. Set the Open dialog option Files of Type set to REFTEK (*.*).

1.6 To Process REF TEK Data
1.6.1 Create a DAS *.rtu file in the Response folder

Compass looks in this file which will contain values missed from the EH
header and are read by the Compass program (DAS = DAS unit ID).
1. Open the example.rtu file found in the Response folder with an editor.
2. Update desired settings.
3. Save the file in the rtDAS.rtu format.
Figure 1-4 Example .rtu file

1.6.2 Process data when loading an acceleration record

Example steps used to process are:
1. Create the rtDAS.rtu file for each DAS and save in the Response folder (Created
in Section 1.6.1).
2. Load the RAW RT files that have the Acceleration included.
Figure 1-5 Load New Trace
Figure 1-6 Load the RAW RT files
3. Select the channels of interest.

4. Approve the picked traces with the OK button.

5. The new traces display on the screen.
Figure 1-7 New Traces
6. Remove the DC-Offset (if the Linear drift polinom = 1) by selecting the Remove
Offset > Polinom Removal men.
Figure 1-8 Remove DC Offset

7. The option dialog box opens for DC-Offset.

8. Set the Polynominal Degree to 1.
9. Approve the setting with the OK button.
Figure 1-9 DC-Offset Degree
10.The screen redraws to show the completed offset operation.
Figure 1-10 DC-Offset
Note: To see the units in a display in Gs go to the View menu and select the
Acceleration processing option to show labels in Gs.
Note: To calculate max path and period from an acceleration record refer to the
Auto A/T command Pick A/T .

1.6.3 To go from Acceleration to Velocity:

1. Apply the Taper menu command to decrease the side effects of the filters.
Figure 1-11 Taper
2. To use the Taper command pick points to taper at each end

3. The results of the taper operation are shown below:
Figure 1-12 Taper completed

4. Use a BandPass filter IIR Butterworth (Bidirectional for no phase error)
Figure 1-13 BandPass
5. The option dialog opens to set the filter options.

6. Select the Bidirectional check box.
7. Approve the settings with the OK button.

Figure 1-14 Bidirectional
8. Integrate by selecting the Trapezoidal command to get the Velocity.

(Trapezoidal is a common integration formula in BAP processing).
Figure 1-15 Trapezoidal

9. The result displays on the screen.
Figure 1-16 Velocity results

1.6.4 To go from Velocity to Displacement:

1. To remove DC-Offset from the Velocity select the Time-Domain -> Remove
Offset -> Polinom Removal command.
Figure 1-17 Remove DC Offset
2. The option dialog box opens for DC-Offset

3. Enter 1 in the DC-Offset-Removal dialog box.
4. Select the OK button to approve the DC Offset.
Figure 1-18 DC Offset dialog

5. The results display on the screen.
Figure 1-19 DC Offset applied
6. Integrate to get displacement by using the Trapezoidal menu.
Figure 1-20 Integrate

7. The results display on the screen.
Figure 1-21 Displacement
8. To remove DC-Offset from the Displacement select the Time-Domain >

Remove Offset > Polinom Removal command.
Figure 1-22 Remove Offset

9. The option dialog box opens for DC-Offset.
10.Enter 1 in the DC-Offset-Removal dialog box.
11.Select the OK button to approve the DC Offset.
12.The results display on the screen.
Figure 1-23 Displacement Results
13.Use the Auto F/T menu command for automatic period and amplitude. To see all
plots a window will open.

1.6.5 To select channels and compare what is in memory

1. Use the Select Channels menu.
Figure 1-24 Select Channels
2. The display opens to select the channels.

3. Approve the selection with the OK button.
Figure 1-25 Select Previous Channels

4. The display updates to show the selected channels.
Figure 1-26 Display Selected Channels
